Testimonials

“Simply put, Kristie Wood is the secret to my success. Without her proven methods of how to succeed as a freelance court reporter, I truly don't know where I'd be. Get your license, then get on board with Kristie Wood. Then watch your money flow. It’s that easy!”

— Dawn S., CVR, CSR

“Kristie’s guidance has been priceless as I navigate my new career. Her decades of experience and valuable insight have been a gateway to my own success as a certified shorthand reporter. While the schooling we receive is vital, no book or course in my court reporting program could have prepared me for the day-to-day questions that arise, whether it be about money management, transcript preparation, or building professional relationships. That’s where Kristie comes in. I am eternally grateful for the head start I have in this career because of her support.”

— Ani B., CSR

“Kristie Wood was my guiding light when I first received the news that I had earned my CSR license. With court reporting school in the rearview mirror, I had no one I could check in with about what my next step would be. Reality set in that the time had come for me to actually use what I had worked so hard to earn. Kristie shared wisdom with me that school and Google just could not provide. From creating my own rate sheets, agencies who work best with new voice writers, and any and all questions I had regarding page layouts or includes. Kristie is the one-stop shop for all things court reporting related. Her influence was a vital part in shaping my career today.”

— Kristen B., CSR

“Kristie Wood was an absolute lifeline for me throughout court reporting school. She truly invested in my success on every level. Kristie encouraged me when I doubted myself, kept me focused when things felt overwhelming, and constantly reminded me of what I was capable of, even on the days I couldn't see it. She has a gift for teaching in a way that makes difficult material feel manageable, but what meant the most was her steady belief in me. Kristie made herself available, answered every question, and never once made me feel like I was navigating this journey alone. Her guidance helped me grow not just as a student, but as a future court reporter.”

— Jenna E.

“There are not enough words to express my appreciation for Kristie. Kristie has showed me what it takes to do this job, in detail, and given me the confidence that I can succeed. I have benefited most from the reassurance that mistakes will happen and how to respond when they do, whether it’s CaseCat, procedures, and more. She has been such a great mentor, and I would highly recommend her for anyone interested in becoming a court reporter.”

— Jonathan H.

“I met Kristie while I was a student at Downey Adult School. She offered to mentor me and do my intern hours with her. I would not be anywhere near the reporter I am today without her mentorship. She opened my eyes to the possibilities of the true potential of this career path. Her three-step system has changed my life. I can’t recommend Kristie and her company enough. She is patient, kind, celebrates the wins with you, big and small, and encourages you every step of the way. Her passion for creating a community for reporters is unmatched.”

— Jennifer D., CSR, CVR

“Kristie Wood has helped me overcome my anxiety as a new reporter and was the reason I found the confidence to take my first deposition. When I graduated court reporting school, I felt lost and didn’t know which direction to go. She helped guide me and helped me find my confidence to jump in and do it. Every time I had questions or needed advice, she was always available and answered all my questions. She truly enjoys helping people, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without the help of her.”

— Erica W., CSR

“In 2024, I finally made the jump and signed up for school. Kristie was unbelievably supportive and never stopped cheering me on. I never felt alone in my journey. With her experience, honesty, and constant positivity, she helped me push through every challenge and moment of doubt during school — and she continues to support and guide me now as a working reporter. Thanks to her foolproof system, I am living the life I always wanted. I genuinely could not have made it through this journey without her. Kristie instilled a confidence in me that I always needed, and my life has changed so much because of her.”

— Sabrina W., CSR, CVR

“Thanks to Kristie I am taking my first job on Monday and I have the confidence to accept in-person work. If it wasn’t for her and her community I would be a lost little lamb stumbling my way through school and the CVR. But I actually was able to qualify ahead of time and test early so I could start working before I even graduated. I CANNOT WAIT to also be planning multiple vacations and I know it will happen sooner than I could even imagine thanks to Kristie, her system, and my fellow reporters in her community.”

— Brooke F., CSR & CVR

“I would not be where I am without Kristie and her program. It has completely turned my life around. I was working a 9–5 and resenting going into work every day, but it was good money, so I just kept going. After becoming a court reporter and following this program, I’ve been able to work about half as much as I used to while making more money. I finally have real freedom and a work-life balance. As cheesy and dramatic as this sounds, it’s true! It’s allowed me to slow down and appreciate what’s around me and LIVE MY LIFE!”

— Hollie W., CSR, CVR

Hi, I'm Kristie!

For years I did what many court reporters do. I ran on everyone else’s deadlines, worked through vacations, and hoped it would all somehow add up to a secure future.

Learning how to build an independent, systems driven practice changed everything for me, from my schedule and income to how confident I feel about retirement.

Now, through Get Ready, Set, Report!, I teach licensed court reporters the same simple structures and strategies so they can reclaim their time, earn more on their own terms, and finally have a career that supports the life they want.
